Am I the only one who does this?

[amyedreger]

Yesterday, dd2 was on my lap and dd5 was looking over my shoulder and we were watching online videos of wishes and spectromagic, etc to get them prepped for our upcoming trip. They, of course, loved it and I was crying??? Am I the only one that gets choked up over things like this? Last year, I must have gotten teary eyed 100 times on our trip, especially when dd5 got chosen to dance in the Festival of the Lion King show. I am sure I'll be weepy many, many times on this trip too.

I don't know what it is. I think it is just so precious to see all of the magic through their little eyes. And, as we all know, Disney owns the rights to magic!

I have to go, I am getting teary again.

Oh gosh no!! You are NOT the only one...not only do the fireworks make me teary, the parades do, even the Disney television commercials do!!

Disney = waterworks for me!!

 

[MeMom]

You are one...of many! I listen to Spectro and Wishes in the car on the way to work, just to remind myself of why I do get up and go to work. Oh yeah, it's to take my family back to Disney World to experience the magic! I just picture us standing there, even hot and tired, but ever so happy, watching the fireworks or the parade and hearing the music in person. This year, I am ultra-excited, because it will be my granddaughter's first trip, and everything will be just that much more magic!

Gee, I don't know, I'm sitting here tearing up reading this post!

I get teary watching commercials, the website, reading happy posts, being there. I am not that wishy washy of a person, but Disney brings on happy tears!

Deesknee-- ME TO! You know you are a Disney Sap like me when you cry when reading other Disers post about crying!! DH keeps count of how many times I cry at WDW each trip! I have to say I usually feel embarrassed when I do this, but feel much better knowing I'm not the only one!

I love this post. I am the same as you all above. When they introduced the YOMD commericals on TV I was in tears. I know the first time I took my dd - then 2 1/2 - to Disneyland, I cried when she first met Mickey. I NEEDED her to love him as much as I did and she DID. It was the sweetest thing to see her go up and give him this great big hug. It reminded me why I fell in love with Disney so many many years ago.

We are going in 2 weeks - a big suprise for her - to WDW and I can not WAIT to see it all over through her eyes - just bring the tissue.

BTW - any of you remember the great commericial where the little boy see's Mickey for the first time and states "I've been waiting to meet you my whole life". I get teary eyed thinking about that one right now.

Got to love the magic!

I get weepy too. All I have to do is just picture the looks on my kids' faces when they'll see the fireworks, and Mickey, etc. and I get teary eyed. My husband of course laughs at me but...

 

[lisajl]

I cry at the commercials, I cry at wishes, I cry at Fantasmic!
I cry when I get there, but I really cry when I have to leave!
I love WDW!

We are going on our first DL trip in a month and my 5 yr old DD has been asking to go to "Mickey Mouse's castle" for at least 6 mos-literally every week! When we decided to go I got teary just thinking of how excited she's gonna be when she walks in the gates and see the castle!
I still get all choked up thinking about her excitement of seeing the princesses, etc. I'll be sure take tissues in my pocket! LOL

 

[PollyannaMom]

I definitely cry too!! Especially at the parades!

 

[kristenrice]

I cried like a baby when I watched the Christmas Parade this year! Every time I see a little girl dressed up like a princess waving to the actual princess...

 

[seetheworld]

You are not the only one who gets that way. Seeing the magic through my childrens eyes makes me cry each and everytime. I have so many teary-eyed moments on each trip and even when we plan our Disney trips because they are so excited. I am w/you 100%!

 

[vernfonzndrian]

See and I thought I was just an emotional cry baby. LOL....Good to know that I am not ALONE!!! lol

 

[Sleeping~Beauty]

I cry! The beauty and the magic for my children just overwhelms me. And of course being a princess myself, its home.

<-------------- bawled at Disney Princesses on Ice this afternoon

This is a great post, I don't feel so sappy now! I think the shows at WDW, combined with the music are the worst for me. I can't even think about hearing 'The Circle of Life' without crying. Heck, I'm crying right now!

The biggest thing that got me crying on our last trip:

Our family was walking past the statue of Walt and Mickey at MK. DD, who was then 5, said "Look Mommy, there's Mickey and his Daddy."

Sorry, that's all I can write for now. I can't see my monitor anymore, it's all blurry.

All I have to hear is "When You Wish Upon a Star" and I'm a goner! When I was a little girl, I had a jewelry box that played that song. It was one of those little jewelry boxes with the pink satin lining and the spinning ballerina. I used to wind it all the way up, open the box, and press my ear to it so I could hear the little gears moving it in while the song tinkled in my ear. It sort of just brings back all those memories of being a little girl and having so many hopes and dreams.

On my past trip, I walked into the castle for our Cinderella breakfast and I looked over at Cinderella and got totally choked up. Same thing happened a few years back during Cinderellabration and she came out and the song says "Cinderella...you are as lovely as your name..." Oh boy! Again, it brings me back to being a little girl and just thinking Cinderella was "IT".

The parade and fireworks also makes me emotional. And of course, seeing my daughter's face light up when she sees a princess.

Nope

Last September DS1 was fussy just before Lion King show started so DH took him out to get pizza.

DS3 was wearing my birthday button and then he was selected for the show. A girl dressed as a Zebra came and took my little bitty guy down to dance and I cried like a baby... I cried so hard I couldnt see him through my watered eyes. I then proceeded to take 100 photos in that 10 min time period... heck I am crying right now just thinking of it

 

[MissyDVC]

Just the thought of anything touched by Disney "magic" makes me cry. I spend half my time there looking through watery eyes yet happier than anywhere else on Earth

WAHHHH! That made me tear right up!

I always cry when we first go under the Disney sign.

Nice knowing that Disney helps us saps unite!
